Well, it seems it's NIB.
The tale justifying the higher price seems to be that "it is a limited edition". Strangely, Elite Keyboards has it in stock for $74 less at $255.

Who wants to make an offer or ask what the difference between the EK one is?

The original listing was at $299, then the price increased $30.  Awesome keyboard, but you're right, Elite has that.

So much for copyrights...

They are not affiliated with EK. If we sell anything on ebay it will be under the username 'elitekeyboards'

The 87U box in the photo has a Leopold sticker on it, fishy listing.

Leopold sticker? Bought from elitekeyboards?  Fishy fishy.

I saw we all make a best offer of $50 max offer, just to drive the guy crazy.  I'm gonna put in my best offer of $50 see if he auto-refuses.

I emailed the seller asking why the price was higher than what you can buy it new for. He replied saying he really doesn't want to sell it so decided to just put the price high so that it probably wouldn't sell but if it did, he would be happy to sell it at that profit. At least he's honest.

That does seem fishy...

EDIT: I guess it doesn't matter anymore anywho, as the listing has ended for whatever reason.

I guess eBay's gotta find some way to recover their costs for stunts like this.
